Shadow Guardian – 1.38ct Dark Purple Grey Spinel Adjustable Ring | Skadi’s Winter Frost

Gift Ready Luxury
Shadow Guardian, a dark deep purple grey spinel stretches along the finger like a midnight blade, faceted in an elongated cushion that catches every shard of winter light. The 1.38 ct stone sits in a 925 sterling silver ring with bright channel set accents, part of the Skadi’s Winter Frost collection, all ice clarity and shadow power. Built for witches and dark feminine practitioners who prefer their glamour cold, quiet, and sharpened for real work.

Geological Information
Spinel is a magnesium aluminum oxide, MgAl₂O₄, in the isometric crystal system, which gives it a compact, balanced lattice and strong light return. With hardness close to 8 on the Mohs scale and no cleavage, it suits regular ring wear with mindful treatment. Many deep grey and purple spinels grow in high grade marbles and metamorphic rocks laid down during Proterozoic and early Paleozoic mountain building between roughly 900 and 450 million years ago, then ride uplift and erosion through later tectonic shifts into reach of human hands. You work with a mineral that grew while early sea life stayed simple, now cut and set as a deliberate tool on your hand and on your altar.

I do not offer resizing on this ring. For a perfect, long term fit, I strongly recommend working with a trusted local jeweler; they can size sterling silver or gold quickly and at relatively low cost.

Energetic and Ritual Uses:
Spinel in this deep grey purple lane supports resilience, boundary work, and long term stamina, especially when you move through cold or hostile systems. You work with this ring when you need to hold your line without broadcasting every feeling to the room. The stone sits on your hand as a private ward, a reminder that your reserves exist and that you choose when to spend them. Witches and dark feminine practitioners use pieces like this to anchor shadow work, grief tending, and quiet power, where presence matters more than performance. The ring does not fix your life, it backs your focus while you decide how to move.

Suggested workings:

• Wear the ring during hard meetings, hearings, or conversations where you need firm boundaries and steady energy, then remove it with intention when you cross back into safe space.

• Set the ring on a small plate with salt or clean soil at night while you write a short line about what you refuse to carry for others, then put it on in the morning as you claim that boundary.

• Place the ring on top of a protection or resilience sigil in your jewelry box, charging both each time you slide it on before entering draining spaces.

• Pair the ring with breath work, touching the stone while you count slow inhales and exhales, naming one thing you keep for yourself with each cycle.

Optional Add On Ritual Services:
You may choose extra ritual work by Selantris Velcryn at checkout.

Custom Incantation Card:

• Name a primary focus such as protection, clarity, courage, grief tending, sustainable work, or boundary reinforcement.

• I write a short, custom incantation in plain working language tied to spinel, this Skadi’s Winter Frost setting, and your chosen focus.

• The words arrive handwritten on a small basil seeded paper card, suitable for an altar, mirror, or jewelry box, meant to be spoken whenever you put on or remove the ring.

Ritual Charging:

• I place your ring on my working altar, name it for you, and charge it toward your stated focus with deliberate, time bound attention.

• The working relies on simple tools such as candle flame, focused breath, and sound to align the piece with your intention.

• The materials do not change; the metal and stone remain exactly as described, with the ritual layered onto the existing craft.

Ritual and Incantation Bundle:

• This option combines a full ritual charging with a custom incantation card so the ring carries altar work and you receive language to use in your own practice.

• Your piece leaves the studio already directed toward your focus, and you gain a specific phrase to weave into daily or long form workings.

• Ritual work supports your craft and your decisions and does not guarantee outcomes, override consent, or replace direct action in the world.

Living With Your Ring

Physical care:
Store the ring in its box or a soft pouch when not in use, away from harder pieces that might scratch the spinel or silver. Sterling silver naturally develops patina over time; polish the metal with the included cloth when you prefer a brighter finish, keeping the cloth away from aggressive rubbing on the stone or any plating. Remove the ring before swimming, sleeping, heavy exercise, or contact with lotions, perfume, or hair products to protect both the elongated cushion cut and the channel accents. Avoid harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners so the setting and stone remain secure.

Energetic care:
Rest the ring on or near a small dish of dry salt, clean soil, or on a windowsill with soft moonlight through glass when you want to clear accumulated static. Take a brief grounding breath each time you slide it on and name what you intend to protect or sustain that day. When you remove it, touch the stone and speak a short release line so the ring carries your intention, not everyone else’s noise. You decide what this piece witnesses, what it shields, and what it helps you call back to yourself.

Packaging and Personal Touches:

Every order includes a 1 oz YuleWind body butter sample, a proprietary aromatic essential oil blend that evokes a winter morning by the ocean, evergreen light, and a yule hearth, with a retail value of 14 dollars. You receive a handwritten thank you note on basil seeded handmade paper that you may plant when you are ready sealed with wax, for that private, old world correspondence feel. The ring ships in a black jewelry box with crinkle cut paper and tissue wrapping, and an anti tarnish polishing cloth is included with every jewelry order. Selantris Velcryn designed the unboxing to feel like opening a spell kit created specifically for you.
